Directory of Development Organizations EDITION 2010 VOLUME II.A / ASIA AND THE MIDDLE EAST DIRECTORY OF DEVELOPMENT ORGANIZATIONS GUIDE TO INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS, GOVERNMENTS, PRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENT AGENCIES, CIVIL SOCIETY, UNIVERSITIES, GRANTMAKERS, BANKS, MICROFINANCE INSTITUTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT CONSULTING FIRMS Resource Guide to Development Organizations and the Internet Introduction Welcome to the directory of development organizations 2010, Volume II: Asia and the Middle East The directory of development organizations, listing 63.350 development organizations, has been prepared to facilitate international cooperation and knowledge sharing in development work, both among civil society organizations, research institutions, governments and the private sector. The directory aims to promote interaction and active partnerships among key development organisations in civil society, including NGOs, trade unions, faith-based organizations, indigenous peoples movements, foundations and research centres. In creating opportunities for dialogue with governments and private sector, civil society organizations are helping to amplify the voices of the poorest people in the decisions that affect their lives, improve development effectiveness and sustainability and hold governments and policymakers publicly accountable. In particular, the directory is intended to provide a comprehensive source of reference for development practitioners, researchers, donor employees, and policymakers who are committed to good governance, sustainable development and poverty reduction, through: the financial sector and microfinance, trade and business development services, rural development and appropriate technology, private sector development and policy reforms, legislation & rule of law and good governance, community development and social protection, gender equality and participation, environment and health, research, training and education. As part of the collective effort to meet the Millennium Development Goals by 2015, the Year of Microcredit provided an opportunity for the international community to raise awareness about the importance of microfinance in eradicating poverty, and to enhance existing programmes that support sustainable, inclusive financial sectors worldwide. In essence, microfinance offers each day the possibility and hope to many poor people of improving - through their own efforts - their household economic welfare and well-being and enterprise stability and growth. Therefore, In this 2010 edition, microfinance actors and practitioner organizations have been marked by [M], integrating microfinance institutions and enabling environment into one directory. This cutting-edge publication -- Tenth Edition -- will give you hundreds (thousands) of useful sites where you can find the statistics, reports, regulations, best practices and other key information you need...when you need it. This time-saving tool includes a country finder index and annotates each organization by category, so you'll know from the start whether an organization is worth visiting. Its Internet resources will point you in the direction of the best development resources available in each country on the World Wide Web today.

    National Physical Master Plan of the Lebanese Territory Final Report I UNCONTESTED PHYSICAL FEATURES _____________________________________________________________________ DAR - IAURIF December 2005 L0215-RPT-13 REV 0 National Physical Master Plan of the Lebanese Territory I – Uncontested Physical Features Final Report CHAPTER I UNCONTESTED PHYSICAL FEATURES The basic choices adopted in the National Physical Master Plan of the Lebanese Territories (NPMPLT) are the result of a coherent analysis of two imperatives: − Physical data (constraints and advantages) that characterize the Lebanese territory; and − Challenges of the future, in terms of economic and social perspectives. The present chapter explains the imperatives followed by physical features. I.1 THE SIZE OF LEBANON AND ITS GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION The first unavoidable feature or reality of Lebanon is its small surface area. With less than 11000 km2, it is the second smallest country in the Middle East and the Arab World (after Bahrain). Its territory represents 1 / 1000th that of large countries such as the USA or Canada and 1 / 100th that of Egypt. Despite the fact that it is densely populated1, it is ranked 125th worldwide for its populations, with four million inhabitants2. Its well-known and exploited natural resources consist practically of water resources, soil and vegetation, as well as climate and landscapes. The small size of the country, its population density and the modesty of its natural resources generate a series of perennial consequences, the most important being the vital necessity for Lebanon to be open to the whole world in order to import resources and consumption goods on one hand, and export goods and services, on the other.

  • The Idea of the Primary Stage in Alvar Aalto's Drawings
    Alvar Aalto Researchers’ Network Seminar – Why Aalto? 9-10 June 2017, Jyväskylä, Finland [Aalto in Beirut] Contribution, Collaboration and Continuity: The Case of Sabbag Center Roula El Khoury Fayad A/Prof of Architecture [email protected] School of Architecture and Design, Department of Architecture and Interior Design Lebanese American University, Chouran Beirut: 1102 2801, Lebanon M +961 3 681 430 [Aalto in Beirut] Contribution, Collaboration and Continuity The Case of Sabbag Center Roula El Khoury Fayad, A/Prof of Architecture School of Architecture and Design, Department of Architecture and Interior Design Lebanese American University, Designed in collaboration with Alfred Roth, the Sabbag Center is one of the last and lesser known works of Alvar Aalto. Despite distinguishable references to Aalto’s previous works, and in addition to the project’s systematic role in projecting an iconic image for Banque Sabbag, the reading of Sabbag Center is predominantly dictated by its scale and inscription within a larger cluster of modern buildings, and by its use as a significant social reference within oral histories about Beirut. This paper argues that the Sabbag Center largely contributed to the understanding of local economic and political context of the time – Lebanon’s modern history – and should therefore be addressed as such. The local significance of the building is legitimate reason to preserve the site. In the absence of any governmental initiative to protect modern heritage, Fransabank SAL, the private financial institution that presently inhabits the Sabbag Center, is in a position to actively safeguard the complex as part of an important area. fig.1 Sabbag Center, Alvar Aalto and Alfred Roth, 1967–1970 Beirut Local Context and Hamra Street Development Beirut flourished in the 1930’s.

  • The Promise and Failure of the Zionist-Maronite Relationship, 1920-1948
    The Promise and Failure of the Zionist-Maronite Relationship, 1920-1948 Master’s Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies Ilan Troen, Graduate Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Master’s Degree by Scott Abramson February 2012 Acknowledgements I cannot omit the expression of my deepest gratitude to my defense committee, the formidable triumvirate of Professors Troen, Makiya, and Salameh. To register my admiration for these scholars would be to court extravagance (and deplete a printer cartridge), so I shall have to limit myself to this brief tribute of heartfelt thanks. ii ABSTRACT The Promise and Failure of the Zionist-Maronite Relationship, 1920-1948 A thesis presented to the Department of Near Eastern and Judaic Studies Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts By Scott Abramson Much of the historiography on the intercourse between Palestinian Jews and Lebanese Maronites concerns only the two peoples’ relations in the seventies and eighties. This thesis, in contrast, attempts a departure from this scholarship, joining the handful of other works that chart the history of the Zionist-Maronite relationship in its earliest incarnation. From its inception to its abeyance beginning in 1948, this almost thirty-year relationship was marked by a search of a formal alliance. This thesis, by presenting a panoptical survey of early Zionist-Maronite relations, explores the many dimensions of this pursuit. It details the Zionists and Maronites’ numerous commonalities that made an alliance desirable and apparently possible; it profiles the specific elements among the Zionists and Maronites who sought an entente; it examines each of the measures the two peoples took to this end; and it analyzes why this protracted pursuit ultimately failed.

  • It Would Surely Be the Second: Lebanon, Israel And
    IT WOULD SURELY BE THE SECOND: LEBANON, ISRAEL, AND THE ARAB-ISRAELI WAR OF 1967 By Sean Foley1* This essay will discuss how three factors shattered this seemingly permanent settlement. First, the military balance following the Six-Day War ended the role of Syria and Egypt as bases for attacks on Israel and, eventually, the intention that these states would deliver a victory over Israel for the Palestinians. Second, Israel's total victory over Arab armies empowered the Palestinians to take direct command of their struggle to eradicate Israel, and to use Lebanon, which already housed 110,000 Palestinian refugees from the Galilee, as a base for direct attack of Israeli territory. Third, the Palestinians' use of Lebanese territory to attack Israel, combined with Israel's retalia- tion, strained Lebanon's already fragile political institutions to the point of collapse and postponed any hope of a peace treaty between Israel and Lebanon for years. In the four decades between the advent of the Israel.2 The Israeli-Lebanese border wit- Six-Day War in 1967 and 2003, there have nessed less violence than marked Israel's bor- been few places which have witnessed more ders with Egypt, Syria, and Jordan in the violence in the Arab-Israeli conflict than 1950s and 1960s.
